#BU theory

[aardvaark]

the leverage team would have had a games night… once. everyone cheated so much and in such increasingly extreme ways that all mentions of monopoly are banned in their headquarters (this makes talking about marks who monopolize the market very confusing)

Ashlyn cares about her friends, and sees them as a family

Phantomlyn cares about them, but sees them more as parts of her.

That's all, summary of whatever in my mind rn

But like. Who DID teach Gideon her spelling? Which nun got the job to literally beat school learning into this hyperactive toddler? Did she ever have classes with the reverend daughter? If yes, then not many - we know Harrow mainly studied on her own and with her father. How long until the nuns gave up on Gideon? Until she was five, they presumably gave intermittent necromancy lessons. Did they stop lessons entirely when she was eight, and they realized she'd never be a nun? Or when she was ten, and there was nobody left to enforce lessons at all? Harrow wouldn't have known that that was something other children got, after all.

How deep was that dig really, when Harrow called Gideon illiterate?

I HAVE A THEORY ABOUT THIS!!! (Credits to this person for pointing it out, their tiktok prompted me to talk about it lmao)

Aiden was THE ONLY ONE (besides the usual grey background characters) who showed up in the dream Ashlyn had before getting transferred to the Phantom Realm.

It could EITHER be a representation of how deep down Ashlyn has maybe already figured out by this point that Aiden fakes his emotions (even though perhaps she hasn't recognised that she's figured it out... if that makes sense?).

It could also be foreshadowing to how the PD has links to their mental state and to the fact that Aiden was affected by this link the most (like how they heal quicker if a injury affects them less mentally).

Maybe the PD knows about each members true mental health state (since they got pulled in) so when having PD related dreams it alters certain details based on what it believes to be true about the person, so for example the reason why Aidens eyes are scratched out is because Ashlyn can't see Aiden for who he truly is yet and the PD knows that so it's adjusted the detail to represent that fact. Or it could link to the saying "the eyes are the window to the soul". As we know theres the theory that their souls are walking about in the PD... so the reason they could be blocked is because Aiden is hiding what's truly going on with his mental health, which links to the soul.

Edit: I think it's also significant that Aiden was the one who convinced Ashlyn to go to Savannah, and is the one whose announcing to her that they're there...

colour theory or smth like that

I got bored and angry so I made this <3

isnt funny how Aiden and Tyler are stretched out and both ended up ‘dying’ and Ben and Taylor who were more in a sitting position were left to grieve ,,

[pinkbirddiaries]

So in episode 68, Alex mentioned the coma patients. Later, it’s implied (or explicitly stated I can’t remember) that when people are in a coma they are in the Phantom dimension.

All I can think about is how this is a whole room of people that are surviving in the pd. We don’t see any survivors other than the parents in the facility, so we can assume that they escaped it and are just on the run in the wider area.

whoops! Dropped this School Bus Graveyard finale screenshot, my fault gang 😋😋😋😋/nsrs/j

[rinka-dr]

Guys I just noticed we never see Logan when he was young 🤨

We saw Tyler, Taylor when Tyler has a flashback when he die, same for Aiden and ash when she explained for the first time she has a sensitive hearing , BUT WE NEVER SAW LOGAN AS A CHILD

Any theories for his backstory or childhood ?

[d011zk1ll]

ok ok, this is entirely a stretch and hinges on a guess about something. but here's one of the things i've got a theory about

So, we know, with punnett squares, you have Dominant and Recessive genes. Yes?

Lets put that to SBG

We'll take a pairing of a male and female character, let's say Ashlyn and Aiden. This will make more sense later.

If the Phantom dimension has done what I think it's done, and changed their DNA (infusing with with the dimension and the phantoms themselves) then if they had kids, that would directly affect the kids.

Ashlyns already had the phantom dimension genetics, due to what happened when she was born (being directly born in a rift). so she'll have both Phantom alleles by the end of the series (whether this means she becomes a Phantom or not, isn't my point today. I just think she'd be affet by it in heath, and senses). We'll say this is the recessive gene, since it'll be a lot less common. This means it will be Lowercase, and we'll use p for Phantom.

This will be the punnett square so far.

At the beginning of the series, Aidens DNA would be unaffected, and he would have the dominant gene of, well, no Phantom DNA, so the punnett square would look like this:

However, as the comic progresses, we see him become affected by the phantoms in Ashlyn's dream, and after his death especially. We can now presume he's been affected, and has the Pp alleles. One dominant, one Recessive. Therefore the punnett square would look like:

This means if they had a child, they would have a 50% chance of being connected to the phantom realm in some day or another, unless the main 6 find a way to get rid of this DNA.

In another case, we can take Taylor and Ben. Both of who don't have a connection at the beginning of the series. so their starting punnett square would look like this:

which means their child, like almost all of the population, wouldn't be affected. though, by the point in the comic where we are now, they'll have been affected by the phantoms. So it would look like:

Their child would only have a 25% chance of being connected to the phantom dimension.

Idk i just think that's really interesting

[spidercoris]

in another universe taylor and ashlyn never made it out of this room. the last thing the others heard were their screams before they walked in to find them already ripped apart by the phantom. the last thing tyler heard was taylor’s screams. just a thought.

1/?

[mishoarts]

I got a thought

What if

instead of Ashlyn sacrificing herself for her friends in the end as how we all thought, she becomes the final boss

and the rest are trying to stop her from destroying the world AND their minds ?

Or they'd just obey her as phantoms and protect her while she merges the two worlds or smth like that ?

Then Maverick turns to be "the good man" who was trying to prevent the world from destruction not to destroy it and Rayan just got him wrong ?

[vxnny-pjoenjoyer]

I’ve shared this theory on refit but thought I’d share over here too :)

I have this theory that the phantom world in actually the normal world but if there was an apocalypse of phantoms and it’s in the future kind off. Like when the gang are driving in the phantom world that one time, they drive past a gas station and it’s all over grown. Then later or before Logan says “this roads Ussually well maintained.” And obviously the road looks like it hasn’t been touched in years.

Idk just a theory I’ve had for a while!!

[alastair-1205]

So like. Do you think when Geo got transported to the Land of Lost Things that that was his first time being outside? Like how fucked would that be? Your first time seeing the world both of the groups of people you belong to has been locked away from for decades is only when everyone you have ever known has forgotten you. Yes, you got some form of freedom, but at what cost?
